AMD’s Yokohama

Mathew Everett 30 Aug, 2006 at 5:23pm ET Article published in Tech

AMD may be closer to a Centrino competitor than many may have expected. According to a media report, AMD and ATI may be introducing a notebook platform, code-named “Yokohama,” in the fourth quarter of this year to compete with Intel’s recently launched Napa64 platform, which include the Core 2 Duo processor.

Yokohama will be the first product that will enable analysts, journalists and customers to get an idea where AMD’s mobile products stand and in which direction they will go.
